First Snow

[CardinalHcky19 0]

We had a few snow flurries on Wednesday and Thursday here in the Twin Cities. Nothing stuck to the ground though.

Getting out first look at the fluffy stuff here in WNY. It'll probably be back around 75-80 degrees tomorrow, though.

Anywhere else hit already?

Got stuck in Rochester for three hours the other day and just as we were getting ready to leave it started snowing. I'm glad we got out of the area when we did.

i was driving around the area today, basicly it looks like every other tree got hit by lightning.

Utah = the best snow on earth..

So where is it? No snow yet.. I predicting a dry winter for the valleys and an OK season for the benches/resorts.

No sense in starting another thread. We're getting our first looks at Winter 07/08 today.

I'm convinced were going to get bombed with snow this week, and classes still wont get canceled. :)

Great, looks like I can play in the snow when I get up there in a couple weeks.

Radio: Not too much (by our standards). The areas in/around the city got "brushed," though I hear the Southtowns and Southern Tier got blasted pretty good. I live to the north a bit, so there hasn't been too much to speak of - just enough to cover the ground. Forecast is calling for snow the rest of the week.

Cavs: When we got hit by that big snow/ice/wind storm last year, the areas surrounding both campuses were in a "State of Emergency" for five or six days; the university canceled classes for one.

If it were a smaller school, I MIGHT have understood. UB, though, has something like 35,000 undergraduate students (with another 10,000 or so grad students); thousands upon thousands of whom live off campus. With conditions being what they were, I can't believe the school was forcing people to get in their cars and navigate through the snow, ice and fallen trees to get to/from class.

We got a few inches last night, but Michigan's UP has the best plowmen in the country and the roads never got bad. In the last 40 years of bad winters, we've had school canceled once, it was last year when we got over a foot dumped overnight, and it was falling with mixed ice, -10F temps and winds that were taking out trees.

I've never had a snow day in Winnipeg, and i've seen it dump a good foot and a bit overnight. I walked to school in -50 weather with the wind chill before.

Had an inch or so on Saturday, it didn't even cover the grass, and it had melted away by Monday. That always happens at this time of the year and then we get quite alot of it later on that stays until April...

:D NO SCHOOL TODAY!!!! Snowing like crazy here, Last night there wasn't an inch on the ground and this morning I woke up to see about 2 feet. The snow is still coming down like crazy. It's starting to remind me of the horrible ice-storm from 1998. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.

Here in Iowa City we got maybe an inch and a half of snow, followed by mix/freezing rain overnight last weekend. My car had about 3/4" of ice over all the windows saturday night when I headed over to a friends. Roads are fine, were kinda crappy saturday, but our parking lot has a sheet of ice over it. So tempted to take a stick and puck down there and work on some stickhandling

We got about 8 inches friday night and saturday. To bad it was the weekend. I wanted to miss some school.

We got about a foot saturday night and we already had about 6 inches from earlier in the week. We got a snow day which is awsome but its pretty ridiculous considering almost all the streets are plowed. Oh well cant complain about a day out of school.

I would gladly trade you a few weeks of sun for a few weeks of snow.

im in thunder bay also, and we got the snowday because none of the sidewalks are plowed, and no side streets are plowed.

We have more snow right now in Edmundston that we had last year in february. We have had about 3-4 foot of snow and there is a storm comming tonight. Even Harper was supposed to be here today and cancelled because of the storm (apparently he might have announced the funding for a brand new arena).

Come on up. We've got plenty.

Snow ain't all good. Plow dumped snow from a deck above. Insurance claims are ongoing, upwards of 6 grand in damage.

[Lufria 1]

oh man, now there's a good lawsuit. That was in Shelby Twp?

[Rustpot 1]

Nah, I'm going to school in Houghton, we have close to 2 feet of glorious powder. The city is going to pay, I was in a parking spot downtown opposite the end they were dumping on. Honest accident, but lots of legwork for me.

I'm staying out of the courts if I can, but if they stick me they're going to get lots of wrath. Wasted tuition after getting poor exam grades, anguish from having to fix the car, mental anguish from driving my $40,000 car around with a tarp and rope, traveling cost to get appraisals, damage to seats from broken glass, cost of a rental in case it's not back to me in time, yada yada.

[Lufria 1]

i'm sueing a guy right now that rear ended me last week and totaled my car. Claims it was the weather conditions, but there wasn't even any snow on the ground at the time. So i'm in the same boat that you're in.
